I have tried one of the hashpower selling/buying website (nicehash) to buy hashpower. I have connected my order to a pool where I had one worker.
However, despite all the advertisements, I could not ...

The bitmain S4 does 2TH/s out of the box with no overclocking. For many alt SHA-256 coins, this can be 10% - 50% of the entire network hashing power, which would allow us to gain alt coins quickly, ...

As the hash power of the network continues to grow, should we expect to see a % of miners drop off because of unfavorable returns? Thus, causing the difficulty to plateau or even decrease at a certain ...

I am thinking of developing an altcoin that is truly asic/pool proof. I haven't tried yet (or even downloaded the source code), but I was wondering if it is possible for the network to behave in such ...

If bitcoin algorithm was broken and some one started spitting out blocks one after the other through their other worldly space computer, could it be detected that the same miner was busting all the ...

I'm fairly new to mining bitcoin, but I have read that using GPU can help improve performance. I currently am using GUIMiner (latest version) running on an OpenCL back-end but when I choose to use my ...

What would happen if 90% of the Bitcoin miners were to suddenly stop mining Bitcoin, i.e. the Bitcoin network's hashing power would drop to 10% of the previous amount.
Would it become more difficult ...

Which and how much mathematical operations are required for the blockheader-to-blockhash operation and how fast would a human be able to calculate a single hash?
EDIT: For simplicity, I think it's a ...

I use CGMiner(unless there's a better one) on an AMD Radeon HD 8570D. it gets 22-23kh/s but most times I see people mentioning their graphics producing multiple megahashes. do I just have the wrong ...

I don't know if there exists a service to quickly check what your mining hash rate is for Litecoin as the following does for Bitcoin

I'm looking for something that doesn't ...

Not sure if the title is poorly worded, but here's what I'm looking to do.
If I have a range of blocks and I want to calculate the hashrate, I can do something similar to what is found here.
To take ...

I'm just a novelty miner, looking to be cool and do my part to decentralize. Not looking for a return on my investment.
However if I'm going to spend $100 or so I'd like to calculate how my options ...

I usually get a nice 200 Mh/s out of my XFX 6770 clocked at 950 MHz / 300 MHz. Sometimes I'll check cgminer and see the hashrate has dropped to around 90Mh/s while temperature of the GPU dropped to a ...

I'm getting around 4 shares a minute (mining at 100Mh/s but I don't mind that much because the number of shares is what actually matters, right?) and since LTC/USD is 2 and it pays 50 LTC for every ...

Newbie miners have many misconceptions about how the hashrate of the pool they mine in will affect their mining income.
If a big miner joins the pool there are some unhappy miners who think that now ...

The whole Bitcoin world is waiting for ButterflyLabs' entree in the mining scene.
Their promised products are quite revolutionary and so they can cause great fluctuations in the BTC price when they ...

20 BFL Bitforce Mini Rigs (each, $30k) will give about 30THash/Sec hash power for $600k. That's way above 60% of hash power of then total 51THash/Sec.
10.694M total Bitcoin * $18.5 current mtgox best ...

I'd like to get a list of the hash power of the major pools, solo miners, and if applicable undocumented hash networks. How can I obtain this information?
If this information already exists, how did ...

I'm playing around with litecoin mining and have been mining at a pool but decided to mine solo using cgminer.
When I mine at pools the amount of shares submitted to the pool sinks dramatically when ...

We know that the expected average time to solve a block from any given point in time is 10 minutes when the network hash rate matches the current difficulty.
However, as difficulty increases are we ...

Is there a way to measure what is the total hashing power of the Bitcoin network at a given time? For pooled mining it isn't a problem - one can rely on statistics provided by the pool (assuming one ...
